  • Irresistibly exotic, this dark thriller pits love and justice against sinister agendas in fast-changing Shanghai... While the murders seem somewhat implausible, people and place, not plot, are the strengths in this debut. (en)
  • Geoffrey Hyland in two of the five Shanghai mysteries has come to Shanghai to direct a production of Twelfth Night ... (en)
  • The fourth in the excellent series featuring Shanghai Detective Zhong Fong ... [is] every bit as good as the previous three. Rotenberg has a real talent for characterization and place... Rotenberg is an acting teacher; he knows a lot of the backstage lore of theatre, and brings it to bear fruitfully on the plot. (en)
